Urban Planning After War, Disaster and Disintegration: Case Studies de John Yarwood

Urban Planning After War, Disaster and Disintegration: Case Studies

Autor John Yarwood Murray McCullough
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2010
This book concerns the relationship between urban planning (and similar things) on the one hand, and war, natural disaster and societal or political disintegration on the other. My supposition is that one may mitigate the other. The book recounts the author's professional experience of specific cases of disaster (earthquake and flood) in the Philippines, war in Bosnia, Afghanistan and South Sudan, and disintegration in Albania and Ireland. I identify the key themes in urban and regional planning which these case studies illustrate.
